“Arise, shine, for your light has come” (Isaiah 60:1) In this year’s Advent and Christmas series, we welcome the Christ Child, who is the light of the world, arising in our lives this season. In celebration, we, in turn, shine with the light of Christ in various ways for all the world to see the brightness of His love. Each week will focus on a different aspect of the light of Christ and how we are enlightened by Him throughout our lives.

Advent Week 4 – Wednesday, Dec. 18 and Sunday, Dec. 22: Eternal Light (Daniel 12:3) – We look forward to Jesus’ Second Advent, when we will be raised in glory to live in His presence and shine like stars forever. Come, Lord Jesus!
